Deleted Camera Pictures
... and how to retrieve deleted
photos
IMPORTANT - Read this carefully
To retrieve deleted photos with the greatest degree of success, do not
save any more images or files to the camera or memory card.
In most cases, all or most of the deleted camera pictures' data will still be contained on the memory card if
nothing else has been saved to it in the meantime.
You will probably be able to retrieve the deleted photos unless new files get saved to the card. At that point the
likelihood of being able to successfully recover deleted pictures begins to diminish.
The guide below details how best to recover your deleted camera pictures safely and succesfully.....
Cameras, Memory Cards and Digital
Pictures
Have you deleted pictures from a camera and then later realised that you didn't mean to?
Depending on the circumstances, and what has happened since the pictures were deleted from the camera, then in many
instances it is possible to retrieve the deleted photos from the camera and restore them.
Virtually all modern digital cameras use memory card devices such as SD or CompactFlash cards to
store the picture image data on a small chip contained inside them instead of on a disk drive as such. Some cameras
also include a small amount of memory for storing a few additional pictures.
The way that the digital picture image data is stored on, and retrieved from, a camera memory card is little
different to a PC disk drive.
Deleted Camera Pictures
Similarly, this includes what happens when photos are deleted from the
camera.
When you delete camera pictures, the photo image data itself is not deleted. All that happens is that the index
record that tells the camera's file management system where the data is stored on the camera card (or in its
memory) is deleted.
This means the camera now has no current record details of where the deleted pictures' data is stored on the camera
card.
It also means that the memory space where deleted pictures were stored can now be used by the camera for saving new
photos instead.
In many cases, if the pictures have only just been deleted, all or most of the deleted photo image data will still
be present on the memory card and you stand a good chance of being able to retrieve the deleted photos.
As new pictures get saved onto the camera card the chances of some or all of the deleted pictures being overwritten
increases. When this happens, it will no longer be possible to recover the deleted photos.
To retrieve deleted photos with the greatest degree of success, do not save any more images or files to the memory
card.
In most cases,
all or most of the lost photos data will still be contained on the memory card
(if nothing else has been saved to it in the meantime).
You will probably be able to retrieve the deleted photos until new files
are saved to the card. At that point the likelihood of being able to successfully recover deleted pictures begins
to diminish.
Reformatted Camera Memory Card
It may also be possible to retrieve deleted photos from a camera memory card even after a format
of the card.
However, some cameras deploy proprietary techniques for formatting and can wipe all traces of the files from the
card, making it impossible to recover the deleted camera pictures. If you are not sure, we suggest that you
continue to investigate how to recover deleted photos as detailed below to confirm whether they can still be
recovered in your particular case.
